Q: What do I write in the space marked ??? below:

A:
typename result_of::type.
Is there any way to handle implicit conversions?
No, if I understand your question correctly. That is, from the caller's 
point of view there is nothing to handle: you just pass the types of a1, 
..., an to result_of. However writing the correct result_of specialization 
for a function object that is not templated on its argument types, but has 
two or more operator() overloads and relies on implicit conversions would be 
a major pain.

Do you have a use case in mind?
